Chapter 174

Nine folks split into two groups.

The squad leader took off with seven of them.

Eileen geared up, gave her weapon a check.

Then she grabbed Egbert by the collar, hoisted him up, and said, “Let’s roll.”

Egbert, hands tied behind his back, didn’t put up a fight, just followed her lead.

The mountain road at night was a bit tricky, so they also had to watch out for the red side’s patrolmen.

At nine o’clock, Eileen finally managed to sneak behind the Reds’ high ground.

The guard there was tighter than a drum.

Elaine Lopez and Lucas were on patrol.

Eileen turned to Egbert, asked, “Is Elaine the squad leader?”.

Egbert replied coolly, “No comment.”

Eileen pushed Egbert against a big tree, got in close and said, “You’re my prisoner! You best play ball.”

Egbert chuckled, his gaze fell on the girl’s beautiful eyes, whispered, “Getting info from a captive takes finesse, didn’t they teach

Of course, Eileen had been taught.

But she wouldn’t resort to violence on Egbert.

After all, this was just a military exercise, not a real battlefield.

She let him go.

Then Egbert said, “Or, you could try to seduce me, I’d fall for that in a heartbeat.”

Eileen shot him a dirty look, then continued to survey the patrol area.

After a while, Egbert suddenly said, “Captain, ever consider trying to recruit me?”

Eileen was taken aback, turned to him, “Recruit you?”

Looking into Egbert’s gentle eyes, Eileen couldn’t help but burst out laughing, “What kind of trick are you cooking up?”

Egbert feigned innocence, “What trick could I have? I’m all yours now.”

Eileen found his words a little odd.

So she asked, “You trying to run? You trying to set a trap?”

Egbert shook his head, started selling himself, “I’d be easily persuaded, just show me a little benefit, I’d work loyally for you.”

“Enough.” Eileen didn’t trust Egbert one bit.

Given that he managed to wipe out forty-one of their blue side soldiers in just two hours, the guy was sly as a fox.

He was absolutely not to be trusted.

Eileen firmly said, “I’m not falling for your tricks! Save your breath!”

Just then, a shift change for the patrol.

Elaine and Lucas were relieved.

When Eileen saw that Jaqueline took over, she couldn’t believe her luck!

But when she saw who else was taking over, she was gobsmacked.

“Burton Lopez is on the red side?” Eileen glared at Egbert, couldn’t believe her eyes.

She had no idea Burton was part of this military exercise.
